A Blast From a Silver Trumpet.

A few days since, Senator In

est lights that ever illumined the
Senate OF the United States, made
speech OH the fishery question,
which has set Canada on = very

esty. In Tins connection, | wish
to say that no single political party

I ton Of things complained of. The
Republicans. W en- in power, were
responsible for crippling the com

and burdens, conceived in the same
false principle Of direct taxation Of

resulting investments. But those

DOES TT PAY.

Said an intelligent wheat grower,
who has over seven hundred acres in
this one crop not a score of miles
from Sank Centre, it will cost this
year fully forty cents cash outlay to
raise a bushel of wheat on his farm,
and. he prides himself on his econo-
my OF production. and in cuItivating
SO large an area he has a material ad.
vantage over smaller growers. Sup
pose, for example, that ne secures an
average crop, of say, eighteen BUSH
els to the acre and sells at sixty cents,
which seems to be prospectively a fair
prlce-he will have net profit of
three dollars and sixty cents per acre,
from which interest, wear and tear
and risks of production must be met.
Does that pay? 1t may pay him with
his large acreage but it will not pay
the average farmer who has less than
a hundred acres In wheat. An acre
ofElands which viii not yield more
than that in net profit is worked to
little advantage and-wlle not, elevate
the farmer above the necessity of
practicing the most rigid economy
in order to make ends meet. Every
year serves to emphasize the fact that
wheat does not pay.

Those of our citizens who attended the G..

water works extended through the greater
part of the village, including the residence
portion. There was also q large, beautiful
fountain sending up its sprsy at the en-
campment ground. They thought this all
very creditable to Sank Centre. Such of the

AN EXECUTIVE BIuNDER.

President Cleveland authorized
Adjutant General Drum to return to
the Southern States the rebel flags
captured by the Union army during
the war, but before the order could
he executed such vigorous and
indignant protest, went up from the
late soldiers, and the Grand Army
Boys throughout the nation, as has
not been heard since. the close of the
war. Furthermore; it was discover
ed that there was no law authorizing
the president to make any such dis
position. of the flags. They belong
to the government and while he is
their custodian under. an act of con-
gress passed in 1874, he has no more
right to. give them away or otherwise
dispose of them than he has to give
away the capitol building or the
moiiey in the treasury. The appar-
ent object was an endeavor to secure
the vote of the solid south IN the
next democratic national convention,
and at the polls, but in bidding tor
the south he has alienated thousands
of votes in the north. Many of the
most, bitter protests and indignant
criticism of his course come from
ex.soldiers who are democrats. Post
after post of the Grand Army, passed
resolutions couched in terms thatcould
not be mistaken. ~.-.
These battle flags were the embodi-
ment of, the idea OF REBELLION and
secession. They were taken at risk
of life and many of the most brilliant
acts of personal gallantry in the SER
vice were displayed IN their capture.
They were stained with blood of the
captors in more cases than one. They
are visible tokens of patriotic heroslm
in righteous cause, and their return
was an expression of contempt for
their captors and an implied apology
to the soldiers of the south. The
north was as certainly engaged in re.
bellion against the general govern
ment as were the Milwaukee OF
Chicago anarchists against the state
governments of their respective states,
and with same propriety the red flags
of anarchy captured by the police
might be returned to the organized
anarchists.
Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad" - President
Cleveland realizes the truth of the
aphorism.

A CASH MARKET. /.

The Board of Trade of this village
has interested itself In finding a re.
liable cash market for. country pro-
duce other than wheat, and certainly
there is no more promising business
opening for any one of moderate
means. The merchants have pur.
chased butter, eggs and limited
quantity of other produce, paying
for it principally in merchandise or
store orders, and frequently at loss,
from the fact that they have not the
facilities for handling their purchases
to the best advantage. This trade
concentrated in the hands of one
; person or firm, whose sole business
1t would be. to care for, and market
produce cannot fail to be profitable.
Under the present system there is
very little encouragement for the
farmer to make good butter, raise
superior poultry or. put upon the
market any commodity other than
wheat. Poor butter sells for nearly
as much as that which is strictly
prime, the merchant as a rule fear
ing.,to discriminate between neigh.
bers for fear Of mourning ill.w
Barley, rye, wool, hides, butter,
cheese, eggs, pot atoes, enions-in
fact score of articles would yield
>thesfafmer good profit providing he
were assured Of market at top
prices for CASH The result would
be that soon the ruinous policy of
raising wheat only would be aban.
doned, and greater prosperity would
follow-for when the farmer thrives
the wheels Of business move freely
Nand briskly.
Merchants as class would be
glad to be released from the neces.
sity ofihandling produce, and among
the warmest advocates of the plan
in the Board of Trade were several
grocers who have dealt largely in
these commodities.

: Little Falls is on the verge of a
boom, and if half OF what is promis-
ed is fulfilled, the town will indeed
boom. There is a proposition made
by eastern capitalists, that if the
county will vote Sloo, 900 bonds for
the purpose of building a dam across
the Mississippi at that place, they
will iu addition put in $50, 900 in
improvement, consisting Of mills and
factories. They also. ask that they
be exempt from taxes for five years,
as an inducement to other manu-
features to locate at that point. The
county of Morrison will vote upon
the question of issuing bonds OH July
I'd. The citizens of Little Falls feel
very sanguine, and think they will
meet with little opposition. Engin-
GERS have been surveying the location,
and work will be commenced within
ten days after the bonds are filed.
